Having a proud teacher moment...

[Crankin]

Unless you're a teacher, it's hard to understand how special these moments are. They don't come very often.Sometime we forget that "they" are watching and taking in everything we do.
This is why every time my bike was in the classroom and the kids knew I commuted or was going to ride after school, it was making a statement.

I had one of those moments yesterday, although not as important as yours. I was working in the classroom of the teacher I am taking over for in 3 weeks.
This was the conversation:
Mrs. Maislin?
Yes?
Do you know Juliana?
Juliana who?
Juliana _______
Oh, yes. She was a great student. I thought she moved back to Brazil.
No. She said you are a great teacher and a cool teacher. You ride your bike to school. She said we are lucky to be getting you.

Believe me, 12 year olds don't give compliments very often.

How nice for your students to have the two of you for teachers.

Those moments are very special.
I teach adult students so I understand how fantastic this kind of feedback can feel.
Well done, you two...
